Texts and Other Material:

• Recommended Text:
1. Robot Vision, by B. K. P. Horn, McGraw-Hill.
2. Computer Vision - A modern approach, by D. Forsyth and J. Ponce, Prentice Hall.

The former is some what dated. I will therefore be using material from both the books and will give out references to papers or copy them for you if time permits. Buy the book by Horn as assignments at the back of the chapters in the book will be given from time to time. The book is available on the web through Barnes & Noble.

• References:
1. Fourier Transforms and its Applications, Bracewell, McGraw Hill Co.
2. Vision, by David Marr; Publisher: W. H. Freeman and Co.
3. Image Processing Toolbox Users Guide: for use with MATLAB.
4. Other Material: Papers from the following IEEE TPAMI, CVIU (Academic Press, formerly: CVGIP), the AI Journal, and IJCV; some of the papers will be handed out in class.

1. Homeworks and Programs: 30% (10% for Hwks and 20% for Programs). NO late homeworks and programs.
2. Two Midterms: 25% each. There is NO makeup policy unless there are medical reasons and the student will be required to show a letter from an MD as proof.
3. Project: 20%

1. Homeworks/programs will be assigned regularly (once every 10-15 days). All programs must be written either in C/C++ or in MATLAB. Your program output will invariably involve processed image display. Hence, it is useful for you to know or learn some graphics programming either via MATLAB or OPENGL or any other packages available on the departmental workstations/PCs. None of this will be covered in the class and students are expected to pick this up on their own through various online sources.
2. First Midterm will be given approximately at the middle of the semester and the second will be in the last week of classes.
3. Projects may be done individually or in teams of at most two. The project will involve two aspects namely, (a) a two page initial description, which will not be graded but must be submitted within the first 8 weeks of class for approval; a list of projects, depending on enrollment, may be handed out in class but considerable freedom will be given to the students in choosing their own projects, and (b) a final report (no more than 5 pages of text not including the images and references) that will be due on the last class day. Project demonstrations may be arranged at a mutually convenient time on an individual/team basis.
